The Farinata that I posted over the weekend in the Stories has been one of things you've liked most lately. So many of you sent lovely messages, and many asked for the recipe. (Which you can find at the bottom of this post). I wondered why, a recipe so simple, so basic, with such unpretentious setting of my tiny kitchen (that has a terrible artificial light) evoked such a positive feedback. Then I had a tiny enlightenment. Maybe, as critical and cynical we are towards social media, when we recognize our addiction to it and we seek our salvation from it, there's still room in it for tiny daily miracles. They can range from smelling a herb in the simplest recipes, to making meaningful encounters that would mark us for life. What I've come to learn (at times at a high price), that it's not really about WHAT we do here, it's about HOW we do anything. It's about a word of kindness, asking a question with no shame, and the courage to pursue an intuition. You never know where the mystic could take you from there. We've come to hate our smart phones and their technology as we think they make us not live the present, with the people next to us. But it's not the phone, it's us. That phone if used well, can carry little fizzy vibes that can keep someone smiling all day long, feeling a lot warmer at heart. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The simplest yet tastiest Farinata: Makes two small treys or one large one -150g chickpea flour - 450 ml water - 25g extra virgin olive oil - 8g fine sea salt - A lot more oil to grease the pans Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl with a whisk and let it sit over night, or at least for some hours. Heat the oven at 230’ C. Grease the pans really well and pour the batter until it's about a centimeter (half an inch) thick. If the farinata is too thick it won't cook through. Bake for about 10 minutes at the bottom of the oven, then turn on the grill and bake for another 10-15 minutes to get the golden surface. Top with whatever you like. I added some rosemary. Then topped these ones with pears pan roasted in herby butter and some dollops of gorgonzola blue cheese. Enjoy with a glass of full-bodied red wine! #FlavorsAndEncounters #LabNoonFood
